I got a switch1 so I could play Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, after putting hundreds of hours into MHGen on the DS. I really wish I could have just played MHXX on the DS instead of having to go to a Switch, but alas. I tried some other games on the Switch, but I just can’t do it. My friend lent me BotW and I got until the part where I led the cave and the framerate dipped to like 15. I snagged it on the computer and played through the whole thing at 1440p/144FPS. Every Switch game is so much better on the computer, and the online capabilities (or lack thereof) are horrid. Since then, Nintendo has quadrupled down on anti-consumer stuff. No good.
Last Sony console I got was a PS3, because the PS4 was horrid with its performance and nightmare load times. I stopped getting consoles after that, even though the PS5 and latest XBox have good performance and much smaller load times. I’m just done with them, and my decisions are reinforced every time news like this comes out!
I still fuck with old consoles, though. I need to invest in an upscaler or any device that’ll let me play them on my modern screens, since I don’t have room in most of our comfy places for my CRT at the moment.
Good news, it’s not just the switch. Pretty much every other console game is also better on PC, even just because of the existence of pause/save state functionality. That’s not even getting into romhacks or retro achievements or any of the other major benefits to emulation.
I wish i could not buy, again, the Playstation and Nintendo consoles that i don’t own.
I have good news for you! You just did(n’t).
